Good thing you can't get Clearwire. Most newer DSL modems by default act as a router so you'd have to turn off their 'firewall' and get a good router or roll your own firewall. Comcast is of course the fastest (in Eugene) but comes with the higher price tag. I really wouldn't run port 80 if you don't have to. You could always port forward off nearly any router and use a different port to forward to 80. For example, I run double 80 for my router and go up two on the default for Slimserver. Also, DYNDNS is your friend then you don't have to pay an extra leg for a static IP. You'll only be down an arm if you get cable.
Just a quick example, http://eviltechmonkey.homelinux.org:8080 Don't try and hack my router please :-) That be all, Mr O. --- Jason Dommasch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello all, > > I know this topic has come up before, but I'm looking into > getting > broadband internet.
